I have volunteered at a local SPCA and know the value of caring for a dog through experience. My family has also had a dog for the past 16 years and she has lived a wonderfully healthy and loved life, the skills for which I helped provide to my family after working at the SPCA and multiple consultations with my future mother-in-law as she is a veterinarian. I am available for walks during the day and am a very active individual and love to incorporate various levels of activity including jogging/running during my walks if appropriate. I am very good at handling stressful situations by remaining calm and helping to lead the situation. Safety is my number one priority and I make sure that all my walks and encounters with dogs are as safe as possible.
